I completed my commercial training at ActivePilot and I can’t recommend the school highly enough. I trained with Sevak and he was not only extremely knowledgeable but also invested in my success as a pilot.

After researching over 15 schools around this area I am glad I decided to fly with Active Pilot.

Their quality work and dedication are shown through the incredible camaraderie of the staff and students, increased safety standards around the airport, incredible students, loyalty, and culture of inspiring aviators. Ari and Leo are always so approachable and abundant in knowledge....Read Full Google Review

One of the best flight schools in southern California. I met Amin at ActivePILOT and he gave me a tour of their entire facility and airplane fleet. Their team looked very professional with matching uniforms but what stood out for me was their customized ID Tags with appropriate pilot ratings which helps students with similar licenses connect to one another. I stopped my flight school search as soon as I found this place...Read Full Google Review

I've always been interested in flying and have recently been considering getting my private pilot license. I came by ActivePilot and was blown away by staff (Ari?) and the flight simulators they have on sight. They spent a fair amount of time explaining my options, not pushy at all. Can't wait to get started next week!...Read Full Google Review
